[QUOTE="tony2, post: 1563166, member: 319450"] Hi, New to the forum and looking forward to being educated in all things imac. I have a Mid 2010 27 inch i3 imac which has been totally fault free until this morning. I have 3 firewire external hard drives attached and last night I unmounted the drives as usual, turned off the power to them but, the first drive in the chain still showed the power light (not done this before) so I removed the firewire cable and the light went out. I closed down the imac and retired to bed. This morning, I started the imac, turned on the external drives but, none of them mounted or showed on the desktop. I have read through various posts and tried all suggested (SMC reset, Pram reset etc) but, nothing has worked, the imac refuses to see the drives. I have swopped out cables and power supplies and are now using USB 2 which works fine. Any help and advise would be most appreciated. Thanking you in advance.......Tony. [/QUOTE]
